Who cares she has absolutely no power over this issue. I live in California and I'm really pissed about her opinions too but the reality is that she cannot control the outcome of Prop 19.
However I am skeptical that the law will pass. You'd be surprised how many people are fervently against legalizing marijuana. The majority group that votes, seniors, are a group who grew up watching videos that told them smoking pot made you chop up your family with an axe.
I just got an email from norml this morning that really pissed me off.
The, so called, liberal Senator Feinstein is against the decriminalization of marijuana.
I'lll bet all her friends smoke it. I hope she loses her reelection bid.
California: Senator Diane Feinstein Signs Ballot Argument Opposing Marijuana Depenalization Measure
Share This Article
Sacramento, CA: California's senior senator, Democrat Diane Feinstein (San Francisco), has cosigned the ballot argument against Prop. 19, The Regulate, Control & Tax Cannabis Initiative of 2010, which would allow adults 21 years or older to privately possess and cultivate marijuana for personal use. It would also permit local governments the option to authorize the retail sale and commercial cultivation of cannabis to adults. Personal marijuana cultivation or not-for-profit sales of marijuana would not be taxed under the measure.
Senator Feinstein issued a statement this week calling the measure "a jumbled legal nightmare that will make our highways, our workplaces and our communities less safe." Feinstein falsely claims that the measure, if passed, would prohibit sanctions against employees or motorists who are impaired by marijuana, and would cost California billions of dollars in federal funding.
"Senator Feinstein's opposition to this measure is based upon fear, not fact," NORML Deputy Director Paul Armentano said. "The public is well ahead of the politicians when it comes to the issue of enacting common sense marijuana law reforms."
Senator Feinstein has served in Congress since 1992.
According to the most recent statewide poll, conducted on July 11 by Survey USA, 50 percent of Californians support Prop. 19, while 40 percent oppose it.

There will be a scare campaign that passing Prop 19 will cost California jobs and kill kittens, cute cuddly kittens, people!

She's a deep throater, too.
So, she has the same position on legalizing marijuana that Obama claims to have. Tar and feathers!
Seriously people. 99% of politicians claim to be against legalizing marijuana. Some of them are probably lying to not make it a campaign issue (coughobamacough), but most of them are telling the truth.
Obama has claimed that legalizing marjiuana and taxing it is not a good way to remove deficits. He has never made an obvious for or against statement on recreational marjiuana.
This is an issue that Obama should have an interest in. The prisons are packed with blacks convicted of breaking marijuana laws.
